Within the cover story, Time editor wrote: “He  lifted his  people out of a slough of servile submission to alien authorities, bringing them to the  realization of their inherent qualities, to an independence of thought and action.”

Every time I look at this cover picture, I feel pride on behalf of my country and see the bright light of the future in the eyes of our founder. After 78 years, we still commemorate him with everlasting respect.

Today we recall and celebrate our Fathers, those who are around us and those who we lost.  I lost my Father at Father’s Day, just 4 years ago. Did I really lose him? This morning I looked into the mirror and there he was my Father, I have not lost him.

How happy are those today, who can see (in them self) their Fathers.

Happy Father’s Day

In the history of our country there were extraordinary people we knew of, but never met in our life. There are so many – There are so few.

We never felt we needed to meet Atatürk, we always felt we knew him and after 75 years we still miss him.
